    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    It's the part about a coach putting in a play he wants to see fail that I have an issue with. As I said, I'd have been fine running a play for Booker or Len. I'd have used a lineup such as Knight, Booker, Goodwin, Len and Williams or Jenkins (if they were active?) and you could sell that to...

    2016 NBA Draft thread

    I'd like to trade Knight too, also for style reasons, but until he gets it together and has a good month or two that's probably not happening. We're too far from away from being a contender to need to rush into anything and we can't afford to give away a player that we expected to perform...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    Not. Just NOT. Calling a play designed to lose? I hope I don't live to see the day the Suns do something like that. I could see putting nothing but the young guys out there and drawing up a play for Booker or even Len as a growth opportunity but that's it. But the Tyson suggestion is over...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    I wish I knew what was going on with PJ. When we first brought him in he was my favorite player. Hustled every night and always attacked, not always with great results, but he was always aggressive. Then he added that corner 3 pointer and became an even better player but the last year and a...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    They haven't done it in the past but what more could you expect from them this season? This is a horrible roster, we've just managed to do what bad teams occasionally do by winning a few games. We won on December 7th, since than we've won a grand total of 9 games. The Lakers have 11 wins...

    Timberwolves @ Suns 3-14-16

    I know they probably could have brought back Robinson near the end of the season but who else did they shut down besides Elliott who really did have some health issues? They played Avery, Vinnie, Maxwell and several other key players down the stretch. That team was bad all season long and...

    We look too much like a basketball team on those rare nights Tucker comes to play.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    Maybe but he won't be for long. By the end of his contract he'll probably be on the underpaid list.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    I think we'd be extremely fortunate to have Knight as a backup 2 guard that can fill in as a starter at either guard position when needed. We may not want him long term as our starting point guard but how many backup guards would you want as your long term starter?

    2016 NBA Draft thread

    The ones I've seen with Simmons going 2nd involved Philly getting the first pick and not needing Simmons as opposed to Ingram actually passing him by. Ben has been disappointing of late though so if Ingram hadn't also fallen off the cliff he probably would have been passed for that first spot...

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    I don't know if it was a factor or if it's just coincidence. The timing of Booker's resurgence is certainly suspicious but it might also have been him adjusting to the defensive attention he's now getting or maybe him finding a second wind after hitting the rookie wall? But yes, it could well...

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    I'd guess it's really not a problem. BPA is such a soft target when you're talking about college to the NBA that you can pretty much grab any one of several players and still call it BPA. If they really drafted BPA it would almost always be an upperclassman. Occasionally you have a Lebron...

    Correct. We want these guys for the same reason Kentucky wanted them.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    You missed the point. I meant he's shown a little so now we can move him in the offseason if he's unwilling to play second fiddle to both Booker and Bledsoe. He'd played so poorly after Bledsoe went down that it might have been difficult to trade him if that was the last image the league had...

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    The scary thing about our lottery position is that with quality officiating we could very well have won this game. But we're still probably safe because realistically, Knight might not play this well again this season.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    I hope we bring Teletovic back as long as it's a reasonable contract. He's hardly a 1-trick pony but even if that were true, his trick is what the game is all about. Having someone like him coming off the bench is a necessity in today's game.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    With Booker on the bench he needed to. I think he's played great today, most of his shots came naturally. And fortunately for us he deferred to Booker often, allowing him to run the offense.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    Golden State announcer: Phoenix has played like a team 10 games above .500. And he's right, this is easily the best we've played since Bledsoe went down and maybe even before that. Golden State is looking like the team that has dominated this league and yet we've stayed right with them for...

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    I agree and I've very old school. He goes a little too far occasionally but most of the time it looks like jubilation or playing to the audience rather than in-your-face mocking so I'm okay with it.

    The GS announcers just compared Booker to Grant Hill.

    The refs have taken advantage of us this game but that's okay.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    Okay, so we now have one game that shows Knight can be a good player in this league when he's playing next to decent players (as opposed to what he was surrounded by after Bledsoe first went down). I think that's all we need to see. If he'll take the backup spot, keep him. If not, trade...

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    Putting another NBA starting caliber player into the starting lineup improves us greatly. Our lottery position was pretty safe with Price in the starting lineup but now, with Knight, all it takes is a decent game from Chandler or Tucker to put us into game contention. We might need to start...

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    I do too but I'd still put it in the question mark category until we see it work. Same with small forward. But the potential is intriguing. A little luck in this draft and we could quickly put to rest a lot of the negativity surrounding this franchise.

    Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

    The Warriors had a lot to to do with that loss, no focus or intensity by them. But tonight, we've played very well. Even the GS announcers agree, usually when they falter it's because of their approach to the game but not tonight. They've commented several times about how well we've played...
